I'll take a set of LaurieS's or Sarsa's textures over almost anyone elses any day. And I'm more than willing to pay more for them too. Why? Cause generally they're better than everyone elses ;o).

For what it's worth, I've been told myself by a vendor modeler that more of their model had been sold on the strength of my textures. It does happen. One hand washes the other. And neither is the more (or less) important.
